Tag: Andrew Haigh

Like several other recent movies (e.g. The Shape of Water, Isle of Dogs), Andrew Haigh’s Lean on Pete centers on the relationship between a human and an animal. This time around, the human in question is Charley (Charlie Plummer) – a lonely teenager who lives with his single, alcoholic father (Travis Fimmel) in Oregon – and the animal is Lean on Pete (Pete for short), a racehorse Charley befriends while working at a racetrack.
